Summary
McDaniel's third collection of poetry is filled with stunning scenes, eerie self-portraits and love poems pulled tendon-tight. He distills his metaphors into dense, concentrated, intoxicating lines that resonate with passionate desperation. His fine mixture of sensitivity, amiable charm, and an arid, dangerous wit permeate every poem.
